The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Each term in List I is a standard property or technique of colloids. We match it by its meaning.

Step 2: Brownian motion:
Colloidal particles keep moving in random zig-zag paths because the molecules of the dispersion medium hit them from all sides. So (A) matches (III).

Step 3: Tyndall effect:
A beam of light is scattered by colloidal particles and becomes visible. So (B) matches (IV).

Step 4: Electrophoresis:
Charged colloidal particles move towards one electrode under an electric field. So (C) matches (II).

Step 5: Dialysis:
Small ions and molecules pass through a semipermeable membrane and the colloid stays behind, which removes impurities. So (D) matches (I).

Step 6: Choose:
The matching is A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I. This is option (D). The other options mix up at least two pairs, for instance (A) pairs Brownian motion with dialysis.

Final Answer:
The correct pairs are A-III, B-IV, C-II and D-I. \[ \boxed{\text{(D): A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I}} \]
